Sentences with phrase «into valuable chemical products»

A potentially game - changing breakthrough in artificial photosynthesis has been achieved with the development of a system that can capture carbon dioxide emissions before they are vented into the atmosphere and then, powered by solar energy, convert that carbon dioxide into valuable chemical products, including biodegradable plastics, pharmaceutical drugs and even liquid fuels.

Capturing and either sequestering these carbon emissions or converting them into valuable chemical products is one way to combat the effects of global climate change.

Berkeley Lab researchers are using M. thermoacetica to perform photosynthesis — despite being non-photosynthetic — and also to synthesize semiconductor nanoparticles in a hybrid artificial photosynthesis system for converting sunlight into valuable chemical products.

They must construct elaborate factories to transform raw materials into valuable chemical products.
